The DeKalb Alphas has, as part of our ongoing effort to enrich the lives of our Chapter Brothers and mentees, a comprehensive Health and Wellness Program.
This programming includes a year-long wellness challenge where Brothers record and report their exercise and fitness activities throughout the year. Those activities generate points that factor into our Annual Heath & and Wellness Challenge day executed every spring. The Wellness Day Challenge is a field day that features a number of competitive events and culminates in the awarding of the Bro. Ralph C.T. Franklin Cup, named after a beloved Brother of our Chapter who’s life was taken by prostate cancer.
In 2014, The DeKalb Alphas Health and Wellness Program was recognized as Outstanding Program of the Year at the Georgia District Convention.
The Health & Wellness Committee also publishes, with the able and knowledgeable contribution of Bro. William Bennett M.D., PhD, a Monthly Newsletter focused on health issues that we should all be aware of and solutions for living a more healthy life. You will find recent editions of the urHealth Newsletter below.
Fitness Discounts – LA Fitness offers Brothers and their immediate family access to multiple state-of-the-art fitness facilities at a discounted monthly rate. CLICK HERE to enroll now!
